Hi Jeremy,

Firstly, I think you didn't look closely at the code snippet that I
included.  As packaged, gnome-panel does not render the icons for the
user menu, so it doesn't really matter if the icons are found or not
(that is, no functionality is broken by not having gnome-icon-theme-
symbolic installed).

Secondly, I think the purpose of symbolic icons has wandered from its original 
mission. Excerpted from the README of gnome-icon-theme-symbolic:
"Icons follow the naming specification, but have a -symbolic suffix, so only
applications specifically looking up these symbolic icons will render them. If
a -symbolic icon is missing, the app will fall back to the regular name."

If you'd prefer, I could change this bug (and similarly for g-c-c and
totem) to "<package> should use g_themed_icon_new_from_names() for
symbolic icons".
